Australia has become one of the most popular destinations for international students. There are international students from all over the world in SUT. We believe that social network is the most important thing that affects many international students, so we decided to make and edit a survey about international students and creating social networks.
Through our investigation, we would like to know some basic information about international students, like gender, age,nationality and so on. Therefore, we will tell the students a great deal of questions about their social networks in local area.
Our goal is clear. First aim is understand how international students create social network. As we all know that different countries have different social media. Then what challenges did they face when they created social network and how they found different social networks and why they chose this network. Everyone has a different personality so they would like to create relatively comfortable social networks. Finally,we think most international students use the social media to create their social network and meet new people in SUT.]]> 2022-07-27 04:16:08 UTC https://padlet.com/Chenqwwww/63i4tvuc8dpdfbf/wish/2250358310 Alice ļ¼ˆMarking Chartsļ¼‰ 103825837 https://padlet.com/Chenqwwww/63i4tvuc8dpdfbf/wish/2253925729 2022-08-03 05:11:26 UTC https://padlet.com/Chenqwwww/63i4tvuc8dpdfbf/wish/2253925729 Chenqwwww https://padlet.com/Chenqwwww/63i4tvuc8dpdfbf/wish/2255261584 what kind of social networks do you want?]]> 2022-08-05 04:03:31 UTC https://padlet.com/Chenqwwww/63i4tvuc8dpdfbf/wish/2255261584 Chenqwwww https://padlet.com/Chenqwwww/63i4tvuc8dpdfbf/wish/2255263163 This pie chart shows the percentage of international students personality.

This is a very interesting topic. Because people are social animals and they needs some friends and have to create their own social network.  Everyone has different personalities. Especially, some shy people, it's difficult to make some friends and they don't know how to build their own social networks in daily life. Thus, we have some useful recommendations for international students in regard to create their own social networks.
Firstly, you actively communicated with your classmates in classroom. When you do some homework, you will work with others as a group instead of completing it by yourself. Must dare to try. It is easy to gather in class as long as you find some topics and you could find some common interests and hobbies. Such as you like to play computer games, you could talk about games and some computer configuration etc. Or if you like music, you can share it with others and you can add some musical groups.
Secondly, open yourself! and let others know about yourself, and have the opportunity to make friends. Through this kind of initiative, you will find people who have this kind of demand and can understand. For this kind of initiative does not let you have more organizational ability, it just makes you have a desire to achieve the effect of some responses, this is not difficult.
